Cyanotype Workshop


Cyanotype Workshop

A slow, hands-on workshop using sunlight, botanicals, and time to create deep blue prints.

About the Workshop

Join us for a relaxed afternoon exploring cyanotype — a historic, sun-powered printing process known for its rich blue tones.

Using fresh and pressed flowers, you’ll create botanical compositions and watch them transform through light and water (no there is no drawing and painting, I promise).

This workshop is designed to be unhurried and immersive — with time to experiment, refine, and enjoy the process.

What You’ll Do

  • Learn the fundamentals of cyanotype printing

  • Work with fresh and pressed botanicals

  • Create test prints to explore layout and layering

  • Design and expose your final piece in sunlight

  • Develop your prints and reveal the signature blue tones

The Experience

As your prints develop in the sun, take a moment to pause and enjoy:

  • Light snacks

A quiet, creative space to slow down and make.

Taking Your Work Home

Your print or tote will be slightly damp at the end of the workshop.

We’ll guide you through this before you leave.
